I'm pretty certain that the Vettel roadshow is now unstoppable.
Vettel for the win and the Driver's championship.
Would to see FA win just for his ability to have dragged the donkey around to impossible results all season
I'm sure we all thought that after Valencia - there is still hope. But I reckon Hamilton can make up 40 points on Alonso but not on Vettel so for the first time ever I'll be kind of hoping Massa's form is an indication that Alonso can win again.Vettel for the win and the Driver's championship.

Even though I live just down the road from the Red Bull factory I feel no sense of local pride - maybe it's just because I can't stand that vile fizzy caffine syrup.

Hopefully Mclaren perform a little better here. I really just want it to be close with everyone going into the last race.
Red Bull were awfully dominant last weekend though, I feel we may see more of the same.
Unless a couple of the other teams manage to duplicate the RB rear-wing device and do so effectively it's game over and we are due for a five race Vettel bore fest.Red Bull were awfully dominant last weekend though, I feel we may see more of the same.
He really is very good, but why is he so difficult to like?

What do you think of Rosberg, Hulkenberg and Glock? 
I lke Nico, not sure he's as good as the best drivers, but this year's Merc is a straight fail despite the win in China, never heard Hulkenberg say anything, appears he can drive. Glock seems a nice quiet & able chap.No it's no a German thing even if Rosberg is a Finn in disguise.
Can't remember what the track is like.
Would like to see a bit more rivialy between Lewis and Perez for the rest of the season, but if McL give LH a balanced car he'll be long gone.
Frankly the last thing I want to see is Vettel storm off for 5 laps and manage a lead to the end and win another WDC, it's nothing personal, but it's boring.
Is it too fanboy to ask for a LH win and SV to be Pastored and FA to be Grosjeaned?

Red Bull was absolutely dominant in Valencia, but look at their performance in the following races. I think Suzuka was a fluke more than anything else. We don't know who will be dominant in Korea.

As Webber describes it, the track is a fast Budapest. Lots of tight curves, interconnected by some long straights. Cars with strong drive from slow or medium corners, and high top-end speed will be good here.
McLaren
Red Bull = Ferrari = Lotus
Sauber = Williams = Mercedes

Exactly this in my opinion, that stalling rear diffuser that Gary explained at Suzuka looks like exactly the development RB needed... Vettel for the win and the Driver's championship.

I think I'll watch this race, even if it is a Vettel walkover (I don't think it will be), just to see him ignore all orders to slow down! 
Its not like they show much of him anyway while he's out at front. We get to see more of the little battles that goes on in the mid-field/back of the grid and I like watching those! See, there is a positive even during a Vettel walkover.
I think the Mclarens and Ferraris will be pretty strong in this race... well, stronger than the previous race anyway. That's what my crystal ball is showing at the moment... Probably fancy a bet on a Button win.
/waits till all the predictions are disproved.

vettel? one of the easier guys to like i'd say, if you've seen any of his interviews with Lee Mckenzie or Jake Humpries and DC. very accessible, funny etc. at least, when he does ok in the race. proved his detractors wrong saying he can't overtake, etc.
sits easily in my top 3.
Watching Lee Mckenzie interview him is always hilarious, he just flirts with her a bit and puts her off completely sits easily in my top 3.
